Dried Cranberries

Fresh cranberries are small, bright red berries native to North America. They have a sweet taste with a sour tang. When dried, they turn a beautiful deep red colour and are wonderfully nutritious. They are high in vitamins C, A, B, K and the mineral manganese.

Cranberries revitalise your immune system, balance blood pressure, and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). They also boost heart health and manage cholesterol.

Nutritional benefits of dried cranberries

These sweet and tangy dark red berries are bursting with essential vitamins and minerals for health and wellness.

Abundant in vitamin C - Vitamin C supports the body’s absorption of iron for enhanced energy. It also maximises the immune system to defend your body against disease and illness. This makes cranberries ideal to include in your diet over the winter months.

High in vitamin A - Also called retinol, vitamin A boosts hydration in the body to plump up skin cells, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It enhances eyesight and protects you from coughs and colds.

A great vitamin B complex - Cranberries are a fantastic vitamin B complex that impacts brain function and helps wound healing. The tiny berry reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), decreasing symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

Source of vitamin K - Vitamin K produces a protein to form blood clots, preventing excess bleeding and repairing wounds quickly.

Contains manganese - The mineral manganese is vital for absorbing nutrients such as calcium and regulates blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
